Bright ruby in color, with an attractive nose of red cherry, with subtle violet and tobacco notes. The palate frames blackcurrant and damson fruit with taut tannins and notes of liquorice and spice.

Food pairing

Medium weight and a streak of acidity make this a great all-round food wine. Best served with tomato-based pasta dishes.
